SMOOTHING OUT PAINT SCRATCHES.
Scratches which hare not penetrated completely through the colour paint to the undercoating, or further, can very often be smoothed out by careful and somewhat lengthy rubbing with a very fine abrasive. For this purpose, one may successfully use the sediment in brass polish on a soft piece of rag — the latter. wrapped around a finger-tip. A bad surface scratch across a back wing, caused by contact with the front wing of another and carelessly-driven car, was eliminated completely by successively using knife powder, brass polish sediment, and powdered whiting. The latter, moistened with lubricating, oil. being a very fine abrasive indeed, brought back the original gloss to the treated area in a surprisingly satisfactory manner.
